Yesterday was a very sad day for the future of America. The Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act. Drafted in secret, and passed in a hurry, the bill destroys important Constitutional rights and protections for United States citizens.

Citizens living peacefully in the United States can now be imprisoned indefinitely without a trial if they are merely suspected of being a terrorist.

We must teach our children Constitutional principles and the rights that free people should have so they can restore them when it's their turn to lead.

Teach the Constitution yes but not "We The People Program" www.civiced.org. This program has been taught to 28,000,000 students in public schools in the USA. The Curricula instructs teachers "Tell students that rights are what people have just because they are alive". students were judged to be "more tolerant than those of other curricula" and "have fewer limits on their own political freedoms". this program teaches big gov. as good and the gov. main reason is to protect all our rights by using gov. instituations and the laws they draft.

Sounds like the kind of program that leaves more misconceptions than real understanding of the Constitution, Tim.

As parents and members of the community, one of our biggest responsibilities and opportunities may be to help young people realize when their public school education isn't accurate, and help them find better sources for their study.
